[s-cars] Wheel Bearing tool?

[Sean Douglas]

Dave:

Is this the front or rear?

You can take out the wheel bearing housing and use a hydraulic press to
re-re. The front is harder as the strut and housing is all one piece. The
rear is a little easier as its separate.

I did all 4 of mine at once when I had my suspension apart.

I don't know how much a shop would charge, but I'd figure they would charge
a flat rate to recover their tool rental.
